[The feed starts not with a face, but instead with a view from up above. It seems like someone's activated their bracelet by accident, and judging from the view it looks like the view from the very top of Heimdall's bank. A nice, beautiful aerial view of the city, showcasing some remaining snow on the roofs of some buildings.

At least it was beautiful until there was a jerk and a very loud sneeze.]

...Forgot how cold this place can get.

[Yup, that's Riku's voice, and when the video feed sweeps over to him, he looks a bit different. For starters, he's being a dumb island boy, dressed only in his vest. Checking in on the city and the damage that was still there was apparently more important than finding jacket.

And now, his hair's cut, bangs trimmed so that his eyes are now visible.]

You know, I thought this place was a dream or some vision before. Something that only happened to me. [He never mentioned it to Sora back home. Not if he wanted to be branded 'nuts' or have his friends fret over him.] I guess coming back here makes that theory useless. It's strange. [And not quite how the worlds work back home.]

Would anyone mind telling me what's been happening here. It's... been a while since I've been here.

...And anyone from our world-- ACHOO!

[He rubs a hand over the edge of his nose, sniffing and looking just a bit sheepish for all the sneezes. The islands don't get as cold as this place, and he's certainly not used to it.]

check in with me. [He needs to make sure all his ducks are in order here.]

Sure. Although, it hasn't been that much. You should tell me what you've been up to...

[Yukari, you're brain might break if he did tell you.]

Heh, trust me. You might not want to know.

...Huh? Come on, you know that's only gonna make me more curious.

Maybe. [He chuckles.]

I'm just trying to save you a headache. It's a bit complicated.

I'm pretty used to complicated by now, Riku-kun. Or do you think I can't handle it?

[She had to ask that. He looks a bit awkward.]

It's not that I don't think you can't. It's just... I'm not sure how to describe it.

[No, that's not it. He just has difficulty talking about issues of home.]

...Why? I mean, what is it that makes it hard?

There's a lot of factors involved. Recently known stuff, like time travel and something like lucid dreaming.

I just don't think it works like a lot of other worlds.

...I dunno. Plenty of worlds work weirdly, Riku-kun. But I guess that does sound crazier than mine, at least.

All right, if ya really don't want to.

[He chuckles faintly. Doesn't he know it.] Yeah, I know. I'll tell you, one day.

But you know, you never told me much about you're own home. What's it like?
